Chapter 637: An Unexpected Guest
Orion's Cantilevered Zone – the frontier of the Ninth Star Cluster.
This is already nearly 10,000 light-years away from the solar system, and it is a real wild area of the galaxy, if it were not for the completion of the construction work of the ninth gate of Orion.
This area has no possibility of development at all, after all, 10,000 light years, Explorer 2 has been running for more than 90 years, and it has only just exceeded 10,000 light years.
However, with the space gate, things are much simpler, and the alliance has divided the cantilever area of Orion, that is, it is divided into sections and sections, and the cantilever is divided into star clusters with the solar system as the core and extending to both sides.
For example, the first star cluster in the cantilever region of Orion, where the solar system is located, and the second and fourth star clusters in the cantilever region of Orion, which is close to the core of the Milky Way, are on average about 2,000 light-years long.
Among them, the Orion Cantilever Region-Fourth Star Cluster is the alliance territory closest to the core region of the galaxy, and it is also the key defense area of the alliance army, after all, it is less than 15,000 light-years away from the border of the Kronos Empire.
If the Kronos Empire had attached importance to the cantilever area, it would have discovered the traces of the alliance a long time ago, but fortunately, the civilization in the core area of the galaxy generally despised the earth buns in the cantilever area.
Unless the alliance continues to expand into the core area of the galaxy, civilizations in the core area such as the Kronos Empire and the Ancient Blue Federation will not discover the existence of the alliance so quickly.
The Coalition has no intention of moving into the core area at this time, and with the first centennial plan nearing completion, the second centenary plan is also being planned.
The Orion cantilever region, the Ninth Star Cluster, is the largest of the seven star clusters in the Orion cantilever region. [Note: The Sixth and Eighth Clusters are the side near the core of the Milky Way, and they are only organized, not actually ruled.] ]
This is a typical area where birds don't, and even the number of native civilizations has dropped sharply, near the first star cluster in the cantilever region of Orion, there are still many native civilizations, and on the side of the ninth star cluster, it is also very common to see a living planet for hundreds of light years.
In the area of the Ninth Star Cluster, a total of 6 life planets have been discovered, and none of them are more than a first-level civilization, which means that the civilizations here are all observed civilizations in the protection law.
Even the Alliance's pioneering groups here are pitiful, and in the entire star cluster, there are only 33 galaxy that have been explored, with a total population of less than 200 million people.
……
The ice crystal galaxy on the border line is one of the border outposts of the 181st Army.
One base and one detachment are all of this outpost, and the total number of soldiers is less than 8,000.
And the defense area they are responsible for is about 300 light years away.
Base Commander and Commander of the Detachment Oster?? Vincent, he's getting bored and moldy.
"Lin, when do you think it's going to end?"
Chief of Staff Lin Yingqi spread his hands: "It depends on the situation, but there is no hope in the last twenty or thirty years, and the alliance does not plan to enter the core area of the galaxy for the time being, and there is nothing else to do." ”
Oster opens his game account.
[Galactic Rush - Zone 3, Player: Predator 14 wins, 3 draws, 11 losses...... ]
"Your win rate is too bad, isn't it?" Lin Yingqi teased.
Oster looked at Lin Yingqi with disdain: "It's the same as how high your own winning rate is." ”
"Haha, at least a little taller than you." Lin Yingqi replied with a low fight.
The two of them are going to play a game of Galactic Battle, but a lot of things tend to happen when you don't want it to come, and when you want it to come, it doesn't move.
A communication was directly inserted into the holographic computers of the two of them: "Commander Vincent, Chief of Staff Lin, there is an unexpected situation that needs to be dealt with by you. ”
"Hold the grass ......" Oster hurriedly archived, and then asked seriously, "What's the matter?"
"During our routine inspection, we found three spacecraft, which is preliminary detection information." The leader of the radar group hurriedly replied.
"We'll be right over." Lin Yingqi put on his military jacket and walked to the command room not far away.
Oster also reacted and hurriedly followed.
In the command room, many soldiers were busy, and as soon as Austin came in, he asked, "Where is the other party?"
"In a void about 246 light-years away from our ice crystal galaxy, it appeared out of nowhere." The leader of the radar group replied with a solemn expression.
"Suddenly?" Lin Yingqi's eyes suddenly froze, and he hurriedly continued to ask: "Are there any other characteristics?"
"Three hours before the sudden appearance of those three spacecraft, there was an anomalous gravitational fluctuation in the area, presumably a wormhole or something."
"Does the wormhole still exist?"
"It's gone."
Lin Yingqi hurriedly browsed the details, the term transient wormhole represents space technology in a certain sense, of course, it is not excluded that the other party has encountered a natural wormhole.
Hey? The spacecraft is about 24 times the speed of light?
"Lin, what do you think?"
"There are two possibilities, first, the spaceship of the fourth-level civilization has opened a temporary wormhole; Second, someone has encountered a transient wormhole, and the second possibility is more likely, but the possibility of the other party pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger cannot be ruled out. Lin Yingqi analyzed.
Oster looked at the star map and said, "How about testing the other party?" We can apply to Army Group Headquarters for a Marauder-class battleship to come and support. ”
Lin Yingqi nodded: "Just do it." ”
The two of them quickly applied to the headquarters of the 181st Group Army for the support of the Marauder-class warships, and the 181st Army had a total of two Marauder-class warships.
Less than ten minutes.
In the outer void of the Ice Crystal Galaxy, a pitch-black circle rushed out of a spaceship, which was none other than the Marauder-class battleship that had come to support.
Oster and Lin Yingqi explained the situation in a long and short story, and the Marauder-class battleship sprang into action, jumping near the three alien ships.
……
Three spaceships are sailing.
But apparently the owner of the ship was not in a good mood, or terrible.
"Director of the Sun King, our location has been preliminarily determined." A dog-headed alien hurriedly reported.
The King of the Sun?? Bei Cai said a little weakly: "Where have we been?"
The dog-headed alien replied helplessly: "On the second arm of the ancient blue system, it is about 26,100 light distances (about 31,000 light years) from the core area. ”
"What? 26,100 optical distances? It's over...... "The King of the Sun?? Bei Cai was desperate, with the speed of their spaceship, it would take at least a thousand years to return to the core of the galaxy.
The other dog-headed aliens also looked depressed, obviously this distance was too far, and it was impossible for them to return to the core area in a short time.
"Damn the Black Snake Pirates, if it weren't for them, we wouldn't have rushed into that unstable wormhole in a panic." The King of the Sun?? Bei Cai opened his dog mouth and scolded.
A dog-headed alien rolled his eyes and said, "Director of the Sun King, in fact, it's not impossible to quickly return to the core area. ”
"Are you kidding? We didn't ...... "King of the Sun??" As soon as Bei finished speaking, he suddenly seemed to think of something: "Cosmic Dark Matter Pirates!" ”
"Director Takami, the king of the sun." The dog-headed alien slapped his ass.
The King of the Sun?? Bei Cai also knew that the Marauder spaceship of the Cosmic Dark Matter Pirates could allow them to quickly return to the core area, and he thought for a moment, "But this matter needs to be discussed with the headquarters......"
Didi ......
Bursts of sirens sounded.
